Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has called for a state funeral for late highlife icon, Daddy Lumba, in recognition of his immense contributions to the country.
The former Vice President, who paid a commiserating visit to the family of the music legend, paid glowing tribute to Lumba for his outstanding music career and its impact on the nation, and called for the state to honour him with a state funeral. "Lumba was such a great musician, and his impact has been so great.
He was so deep," Dr Bawumia said, as he referenced a number of the late musician's iconic songs. "This is a national funeral, and I want to plead for a state burial and a state funeral for him," Dr Bawumia said. "But the truth is that whether he is granted state funeral or not, it is going to be a state funeral.
Ghanaians are according to him his deserved national recognition." Dr Bawuia was accompanied by a number of NPP officials including MPs, regional and constituency executives.
